Manufacturing strategy of General Dynamics Electric Boat – Seamless Deliverable

Order Instructions:
Master of Business Administration

Module: AUSM27E Manufacturing Strategy
Assignment Title: Individual Coursework
Assignment Weighting : 100%

Description of Assignment

Case study: General Dynamics Electric Boat – Seamless Deliverable
Source: US DoD (2007) Design for Production (2) Seamless Deliverable [online] available from
[24 April 2013]

General Dynamics Electric Boat was founded in 1899, and has established standards of excellence in the design, construction and lifecycle support of submarines for the U.S. Navy. Primary operations are the shipyard in Groton, Connecticut, the automated hull-fabrication and outfitting facility in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and an engineering building in New London, Connecticut. The current workforce is more than 11,000 employees.

In 2007, Electric Boat conducted an independent study to reduce the ship production cycle time and costs after winning a contract to build the Virginia Class Submarine (VCS) program. Studies have shown ship design processes are not keeping pace with state-of-the-art manufacturing practices. Identified challenges at the shop floor include:

• Poor coordination among work cell operations,
• Lack of timely, accurate and electronic data,
• Outdated design and construction 3D modelling system,
• Delays are pushing costs up beyond the allocated budget,
• Poor work flow and construction sequence resulting in wastages,
• Outdated or wrong drawings for production, and
• Frustration leads to finger pointing among staff and turnover.

The stakeholders are willing to further invest into the infrastructure at the shop floor to integrate work cells seamlessly. Hence, Operation Seamless Deliverable was initiated with the objective to reduce waste and production cycle time.

Brief
The case study is discussed on week 2 during the start of the new trimester. Students are required to work independently to identify areas for improvement, technology to streamline the operation and estimated investment needed to fulfil the objectives set in Operation Seamless Deliverable within a period of 2 years. The exact name of all proposed technology must be named for example, Mentor Graphics SystemVision (Aerospace) instead of 3D CAD/CAM. Details of the identified technology system can be submitted as appendices.

From a helicopter view, students are expected to draw and present a proposal to organise, implement and manage these changes within the given timeline. You are given 6 weeks to prepare and present your proposal for approval by stakeholders (starting week 9).
